Gandhinagar: Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani on Saturday resigned for his post ahead of Assembly elections in 2022 in the State. Rupani said to the media persons that it has been a five year journey for development of Gujarat, under guidance of PM Modi. Now to further develop the State, with new energy and power, I have decided to resign as Chief Minister.

It is a speciality of our party that every worker delivers to the fullest, and I too will continue to work for the party with the same energy, he added. According to the reliable sources Rupani resigned after the party’s Central leadership expressed dissatisfaction with his performance; they have called this a course correction by a party eager to change things around if it feels unsure in its state leadership, particularly with key elections due next year.
